has shown far-reaching wisdom. His
success in his negotiations with the
German Chancellors, the remarkable
foresight shown in his dealings with
Spain ana in putting the Holy Ses into
friendly relations with republican
France show his skillfuiness and rare
diplomatic sense. AS prince OF peace
he has been called upon to settle the
most difficult problems. Under his
guidance the bitter Kulturkampf, that
has ragged in Germany, since the veal
1870, has been ended, and now he has
no greater admirer than the aged Era-
leror of Germany, who, it must be ad.
mitteG, has b en- irnbued with the same
desire as the Pope, wishing to leave his
empire to his successor free from re]i-
gious strife. AS prince of peace
he was called upon to decide
in a question chat at one tir1e
threatened to bring Germany and
Spain into dificulties-that Of the Caro-
line Islands-and the world knows with
what tact he arb -trated to the satisfac
tion of both countries. Ever since
King Victor Ernmanuel's entry into
Rome in 1870, all true Catholics have
been prohibited by the Vatican from
availing themselves IN any way OF theil
electoral franchise, and have conse.
quently been debarred fram taking any
part in either parliamentary OF muni-
cipal life. Recently, however, the Pope
issued all order withdrawing his pre-.
decessor's, injunctions concerning the
non participation Of the faithful in
political contests, and has instructed
priests throughout the country 70 en-
courage their hscks to take part in the
municipal and parliamentary elections.
The result WAS soon apparent. Wne1l
an important municipal election took
place recently in Rome, and twenty
four seats in the municipal council bad
to be bslloted for, it was found that in
every case the candidate of the Vitican
had been victorious, and not single
Liberal or Radical elected. This result
was all the more significant, inasnuch

mortality was fearful" says Or.
O'Reilly; battling the skill OF the ply
sicians and sweeping away persons Of
all classes. Monsignor Pecci, not being
in priests orders, could not help in
ministering to the spiritual needs and
comfort of the plague stricken. But
possessing, as he did, the entire con-
fdence of the Cardinal, he became his
right-hand man, displaying not only
great practical judgment il providing
| for the urgent wants of so many thou
sands, but that lndefatjgable zeal and
that tearlessness of personal danger
which came as much from his own
ardent piety as from his natural unset
ishness and generosity. If, during
| these awful summer months, Monsjgnor
kecci had often wished that he. too,
Eould ba privileged to minister priestly
consolation to the dying, his desire was
soon to receive a partial fulhllment, at
least. He was told to prepare for the
holy orders as soon as, with the cold
weather, the plague had subsidized. On
Nov. 3 of the same year he received sub

AnA on she last day of the same year,

event whose iftieth anniversary is to

The natives have an ingenious way OF
catching monkeys, SO simple that it may
with truth be said that the monkey
catches himself. A narrow mouthed jar
is filled with corn, and accidentally, OF
course, left on the ground. The ever
watchfm monkeys quickly take motto Of
this, and no sooner is the owner Of the
jar out of sight than they steal up to in
spect and discuss their windfall. Having
satisfied themselves that there is no trap,
one of them thrists in his arm and
snatches a handful of corn. He then
finds that the mouth Of the jar is too
narrow to let him withdraw his doubled

corn, and out rushes the owner from be-

The signs of the times point to an unu-

mines during the now fast approaching
summer. OF late there have been some
new and rich discoveries made there. Of
which little or nothing has been sml-in
fact, special efforts have been made to
keep the matter quiet, but as THE LEADER
stated only two or three days ago, an
assay made of 500 pounds of ore which
was shipped abroad Tor that purpose the
return showed SIC in gold and silver
and this it should be borne in mind was
from only a quarter of a ton of ore.
The Ferguson smclter has been taken
from the point where it was originally put
IN operation, and has been removed to a
point near the Simmons ranch, where
here is plenty Of water, so hat there
will no longer be any more trouble upon
that point The new roasting furnace
as it is called, which is to be put in at once
at Silver Crown at n cost of Sc. 900, is to
be of such immense proportions and Its
facilities will be such that it can work the

Is for this purpose that the new company
which has been formed by Baker & John

Sir Henry Bessemer has explained in
The London Times a process by which
steel forts and turrets could be supplied
for British coaling stations with extra
ordinary dispatch, and at q very moderate
price. His plan is to cast the required fort
In n piece. There is a simple grandeur
about this idea which strongly recom-
mends it to the lay mind. Sir Henry has a
good deal to say in favor Of his proposal.
Suppose we want a fort with a curved face
100 feet long, 16 feet high and 8 feet
thick. If a mold made of bricks and
lined with fire clay were made, Sir Henry
states that sixteen hours would suffice for
the casting of the fort in one solid piece
of steel weighing 900 tons, requiring no
backing or superstructure for its support,
and no expensive fitting together of its
various parts, and having all its ports and
loopholes formed in the required position
by the act of casting. Boston Globe.
